Happy Valentines Day!
By the time everyone reads this, Valentines Day will probably be over. In fact, it technically is right now, seeing as it is 2:00 am. Oh well, Happy Valentines Day anyway.
Much to my shagrin, I have come down with a cold, even though I stayed away from germ infested Bethany for the weekend. I guess I wore myself out with the relentless but oh so fun wedding planning and lack of sleep due to late nights spent talking with my Mom or sister. I did get lots done though. The invitations are finalized, so is the cake, and the food is being settled, which is wonderful . I am so excited. Only 88 days you know. That really isn't that long. That means that any of you who are stressing about school can take heart that really, it is almost over. I am so glad that the time is passing quickly, but I also wish I could stop it for just a bit, so I could have the time to do my assignments, my voice lessons and practice, my Choral commitments, and still get home most weekends to plan.
Speaking of going home for the weekend, as previously mentioned, I was home this past weekend. I love going home, but I hate taking the bus. This time was not so bad because it was a weekday morning so there was far less passengers than when I travel weekend evenings. The only thing that doesn't change about the bus ride is the time and the price. The time, like the seating was quite good this time, because even though it was still a six hour trip, I had Ryan's minidisc player to pass the time. Ahhh. The price is another story. It costs 50 some dollars and change to ride the bus. I don't know if that is reasonable as buses go, but reasonable or not, I hate paying it. I would like to get home more weekends this semester, but many weekends at that price and I'd be broke. Oh well, I gues that's life.
Back to the day at hand. I know some people don't like Valentines Day, as evidenced by the dark ensemble worn by one girl today. I love it though, and I don't care what anyone says. Even when I was not dating I still loved it. The only year I felt bad about Valentines was the year in elementary school, I think it was grade 3 or 4, when the teacher decided that she was going to break with tradition, and instead of everyone giving everyone else in the class a Valentine, you could choose who you did and didn't want to give Valentines to. I was crushed when I didn't get Valentines from everyone in the class, and I thought my pile looked skimpy compared to most. it was a sad day that year. But every other year has been great.
Last year was probably the best Valentines Day ever. For those of you who know and remember, it was the day Ryan proposed to me. It was so romantic! I loved it. This year is either tied, or a very close second. I took the reins this year, and it was fun to do the cooking for a change ;) (By the way, that doesn't mean I want you to stop cooking for me Hon). I like Valentines this year because it feels more real to me. The wedding is exactly 3 months from today, the 14th that is, and the more time that passes, the more the reality of it sinks in. I don't mean that in a negative way at all. In fact, it's very positve. It's knowing that God has given me the perfect man and that I get to spend the rest of my life discovering all there is to know about him, and he about me, and to see how we work together as a team. I couldn't be more happy.
Well, it's late, and I think that's a good place to end. I hope all who read this experienced wonderful Valentine Days as well. Bye

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for the comment on my blog. It's true what you said about so many people having blogs, and us not even knowing it!
How very exciting that your wedding is so soon. Will you be getting married in Halifax? I am living in Halifax this summer, near Claton Park. My boyfriend lives there and I decided to be close to the one I love this summer (i'll visit my parents - the other ones I love- occasionally).
I hope school is going well for you...keep in touch.
